The Gallery: Week 10

>> Friday, 30 April 2010

Hello and welcome to week 10 of The Gallery.

Ten weeks in and you're all still awesome (and that's a word I hardly EVER use!)
The photos you choose and the words you use to describe them have been just excellent and I confess I look forward to losing a whole evening on a Wednesday checking them out.

I love that you all love it and I love that you are all so supportive of everyone else.
This Gallery is a success because of YOU and I thank each and every one of you for that.

So, to this week's theme.
Let's all share a secret. Let's all paint a picture of the world we live in: The hidden bits, the bits you feel are special and people should know about. The bits people wouldn't necessarily see.
It could be a picture of where you live. Somewhere you love to visit. Somewhere you've been on holiday. Somewhere you want to return to.
It could be a beach, a back garden, a mountain hideaway, a stunning view, trees (*ahem*).
And then tell us why it is so special.
I saw this BBC initiative to discover Secret Britain and thought it a really lovely idea.
So I've pinched it and gone bigger.
Let's reveal the best the world has to offer.
Let's paint an amazing picture of the world on one day, so anyone visiting our Gallery can be transported around the globe on an incredible journey.

As always, come back on Wednesday to add your link, visit as many others as you can, say hi, discover new people, welcome them in when they discover you.
Appreciate the wonderful photos that are opening themselves up to you.

Now get clicking!

The Gallery
If you're new to The Gallery, here's the brief: I will give you a prompt, an idea, a notion and you go out and take a photograph using that prompt. Or just use a photo you already have.
The prompt could be one word, an object, an idea, a phrase, anything, and you have to post a picture which you feel represents that prompt.
Post it on your blog and write about it.
That's it.

It's not about taking technically brilliant photos - although if you do, I'd love to see them too. It's about having a passion for pictures; any photos, all photos whether you took it with your all singing all dancing SLR or snapped it on your camera phone.
You don't even have to be a blogger to take part - just send me your photo and I will publish it on my blog for you. You don't even have to include your name if you prefer.

When you've published it, come back on Wednesday and via a groovy widget thing you can add a link to your post and share it with everyone. The link remains open for a week.
Visit others, comment if you like them or feel inspired by them. Just go out and encourage and support amateur photographers out there.

And if you want to add a pukka linkable Gallery button to your blog (instead of the amateurish one I've been using!) the code is just under The Gallery picture in the right hand column on this blog.
Come back on Wednesday and join in. I can't wait to see what you come up with.

And if you want to make sure you don't miss any prompts or entries in future, make sure you subscribe to my RSS or email feed.
Go on, clicky click away, you know you want to ...
